The polyprenyl compound according to the invention have excellent anti-PAF and antithrombic activities, and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions intended for utilizing these anti-PAF and antithrombic activities. The term "PAF" means platelet activating factor. Barbaro et al found in 1966 that a rabbit basophile sensitized by immunoglobulin E (IgE) released a factor which caused platelet degranulation and aggregation. This factor was named PAF by Benveniste et al in 1972. Demopoulos et al reported in 1979 that its structure was identical with that of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. PAF is an alkyl ether phospholipid having an acetyl group which is a new mediator for platelet aggregation.

Human disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome (DIC) is a condition wherein blood coagulation is abnormally promoted, blood in the microcardiovascular system is widely coagulated and many thrombi are formed. One of the factors causing this condition is thrombin. As noted above, the compounds of the present invention have antithrombic and anti-PAF activity. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention are useful as excellent antithrombic drugs having both antithrombic and anti-PAF activities for the treatment of DIC.

The formation of thrombi can further cause hemadostenosis, angiostenosis and ischemic lesions or infarctions in principal internal organs such as heart, brain and lungs. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the therapy and prophylaxis of myocardial angina pectoris, cerebral thrombosis, DIC and chronic arteriosclerosis. In addition to being useful as drugs for the therapy and prophylaxis of these thromboses, the compounds of the present invention having anti-PAF activity can be used as anti-inflammatory drugs, antiasthmatic drugs, antiarteriosclerotic drugs, antishock and blood pressure controlling drugs, immune function controlling drugs and antiallergic drugs.

We have unexpectedly found that the compounds of the present invention have anti-PAF and antithrombic activities. The present invention is based on this finding. No compounds similar in structure to those of the present invention have been known to exhibit an anti-PAF activity.

The first compound group according to the invention wherein W in the formula (I) is the group of --COR can be produced by various methods. For example a polyprenyl carboxylic acid of the formula (II) ##STR33## wherein A, B, Y, Z and n have the same meanings as defined above, or a reactive derivative thereof, is reacted with an amine of the formula RH [III], wherein R has the same meaning as defined above, to amidate said carboxylic acid or its derivative, thus producing the desired polyprenylcarboxylic acid amide [I]. Examples of reactive derivatives of the carboxylic acid [II] include halides, anhydrides and mixed anhydrides of the acid [II].

If desired, the reaction can be carried out in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N,N'-diethylcarbodiimide, trialkyl phosphate, ethyl polyphosphate or tosyl chloride, in order to conduct the reaction smoothly. Further, in order to capture the hydrogen halide formed by the reaction and promote the reaction, a base can be added. Examples of such bases include inorganic bases, such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate, and tertiary amines, such as pyridine and triethylamine. The reaction can ordinarily be conducted in a solvent, such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide or a lower alcohol, or mixtures thereof.

The second compound group according to the invention where W in the formula (I) is X can be produced by various preparation methods. Some examples therefor are described below.

(1) When X is one of the groups (6) to (14) defined hereinbefore, the following preparation may be used.

The intended product can be obtained by reacting a polyprenyl carboxylic acid of the formula (II) ##STR34## wherein A, B, Y and Z are defined hereinbefore and n is an integer of 1 to 3, or a reactive derivative thereof, with one of amine compounds of the formulae: ##STR35##

Also in these preparation methods, the reactive derivative, a dehydrating agent, a base and a solvent may be used in the same manner as described hereinbefore.

(2) When X is the group (15), the product can be obtained by reacting a polyprenyl compound of the formula (IV) ##STR36## wherein A, B, Y, Z and n are defined hereinbefore, with a carboxylic acid of the formula (V) ##STR37## in the same manner as shown in the before mentioned (1) to carry our amidation.

(3) When X is the group (16), the product can be obtained by reacting a halide of a polyprenyl compound of the formula (VI) ##STR38## wherein Hal is a halogen and A, B, Y, Z and n are defined hereinbefore, with an amine compound of the formula (VII) in order to effect dehalogenation. ##STR39##

(4) When X is the group (1), the product can be obtained by reacting a polyprenyl compound of the formula (VII) ##STR40## with, for example, a thionyl chloride in order to produce an acid halide of the formula (IX) ##STR41## and then reacting the resulting acid halide with an amine compound of the formula (X): R²² H in order to produce the intended product.

(5) When X is the group (2), the intended product can be obtained by reacting a polyprenyl compound of the formula (XI) ##STR42## with, for example, thionyl chloride to give an acid halide of the formula (XII) ##STR43## wherein Hal is a halogen, and then reacting the acid halide with an amine compound of the formula (X): R²² H.

(6) When X is one of the groups (3), (4) and (5), the product can be obtained by reacting a polyprenyl compound of each of the formulae (XIV), (XV) and (XVI) ##STR44## with, for example, thionyl chloride in order to give an acid halide of each polyprenyl compound and then reacting the resultant with an amine compound of the formula (X).

In the preparation methods as mentioned above, oxalyl chloride may be replaced for thionyl chloride.

The following experimental example is provided to illustrate the effects of the compounds according to the invention.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE

(1) Anti-PAF activity

Experimental method

(a) Preparation of washed platelet suspension (hereinafter referred to as W.P.)

A blood sample was collected from a carotid artery of a male rabbit weighing 2.5 kg, while adding thereto one volume of a 3.13% sodium citrate solution per 9 volumes of blood as a coagulant. The resulting blood was centrifuged at 200×g for 20 minutes to separate out platelet-rich plasma (hereinafter referred to as PRP). This PRP was centrifuged at 1,000×g for 15 minutes to separate the platelets from the plasma. The deposited platelets were washed twice with a Tyrode solution (Tyrode-Ca⁺⁺), from which Ca⁺⁺ had been removed and to which 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) had been added, such that 9×10⁵ platelets per μl were finally suspended in the Tyrode solution.

(b) Preparation of specimens and PAF

Specimens were dissolved or suspended in a physiological saline. PAF was dissolved in a Tyrode solution containing 1% BSA. PAF synthesized from D-mannitol in accordance with a method disclosed by J. J. Godfroid et al was used (FEBS Letters 116, 161-164, 1980).

(c) Measurement of platelet aggregation

Platelet aggregation measurements were conducted according to nephelometry described by Born et al using a platelet aggregation meter manufactured by Schenko Co. Specimen solutions having various concentrations of test compounds and 0.25 ml of W.P. were subjected to preincubation at 37° C. for 4 minutes, and then PAF was added thereto to give a final PAF concentration of 30 ng/ml to provoke platelet aggregation. The transmittance of the W.P. before aggregation, that is, before the addition of the aggregation provoking agent, was rated as 0, and the transmittance of the Tyrode solution was rated as 100. After the addition of the PAF solution to the W.P., light transmittance increased as aggregation proceeded. The value of the light transmittance at the time when the aggregation had proceeded to a maximum was rated as the maximum aggregation (hereinafter referred to as MA) which was used as an index of the degree of aggregation.

The inhibition rate was calculated according to the following equation. The aggregation in a W.P.-containing physiological saline solution free of test compound, as a control, was rated as 0% aggregation inhibition. ##EQU1## wherein M.A. Control: maximum aggregation after platelet aggregation in PAF was provoked, after the addition of physiological saline.

M.A. Sample: maximum aggregation after platelet aggregation in PAF was provoked, after the addition of the test compound.

(2) Antithrombic activity

The measurement of the antithrombic activity was conducted in the same manner as described above, except that bovine thrombin at a final concentration of 0.2 units/ml was used as the platelet aggregation provoking agent in place of PAF.

The results are shown in Table 1.

It is apparent from the above experimental results that the compounds of the present invention have an excellent anti-PAF activity. In addition to being useful as drugs for the prophylaxis and therapy of thromboses, the compounds of the invention are also useful as anti-inflammatory drugs, antiasthmatic drugs, antiarteriosclerotic drugs, antishock and blood pressure controlling drugs, immune function controlling drugs and antiallergic drugs.

The compounds of the present invention have a very low toxicity and high safety, and are suitable for long-term continuous administration. The present invention is very valuable in this sense. When the compounds of the present invention described in the above experimental example were orally administered in doses of 500 mg/kg to SD rats (each weighing about 200 g), no deaths or side effects were observed.

Dosages of the compounds of the present invention administered as a drug exhibiting an anti-PAF activity to human or animal patients vary greatly depending on the type and extent of the disease, the particular compound employed and the age of the patients, and, thus, the dosage amount is not particularly limited. Generally, however, the compounds of the invention are orally or parenterally administered at dosages in the range of from 10 to 1,000 mg/day/adult, preferably about 50 to 300 mg/day/adult. The unit dosage forms of drugs to be administered include powders, fine-grained powders, granules, tablets, capsules and injection liquids. Such drug forms are prepared by conventional methods using conventional pharmaceutical carriers.

In the formulation of solid preparations for oral administration, an excipient is added to a base. If desired, a binder, disintegrator, lubricant, colorant, flavoring agent, and other conventional additives are added thereto.
